What Is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a drug-free, whole body approach to patient care that restores or enhances function to the joints and supports the nervous system.
It is a healthcare profession that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of joints, particularly those of the spine, and their effects on the nervous and muscular system. It emphasizes manual therapy including chiropractic adjustments (also known as spinal manipulation) and other joint and soft tissue manipulation, and includes corrective exercises, and health and lifestyle counselling.
We do that through the detection and correction of vertebral subluxations, which are misalignments of one or more bones in the spine that interfere with the proper communication between the brain and the body. After a thorough analysis has been performed and any subluxations are detected, a chiropractor performs specific adjustments to the spine to restore the spine and nerve system back to normal functioning.
Chiropractors understand that the body has an innate ability to heal itself. The body’s natural state is health, vitality, and optimum function. The system that controls all of the healing in the body is the nervous system. The most important way for the body to express health, vitality, and function is through an optimum functioning spine and nervous system. When the structure of the spine is healthy, our nervous system is healthy.
What Will Your Chiropractic Experience Be Like?
Chiropractors use their hands to apply focused, gentle pressure on your spine, a process known as a chiropractic adjustment, to address the cause of the problem. We will also take steps to ensure your condition is managed for the best long-term results.
This may show you the best way to prevent the same problem recurring, doing rehabilitative exercises or making simple changes to your lifestyle, which have a big impact on your long term health and wellbeing.
What many people who regularly experience chiropractic treatment really appreciate is that they get great results and it’s a non-invasive course of treatment involving no drugs or surgery.
